For undergraduate-level courses on Human Evolution in departments of Anthropology and Biology.
Clearly written-and now extensively cross-referenced to the primary literature-this text integrates evolutionary theory with the interpretation of fossil evidence to illustrate how ideas on the nature of human evolution have grown as new evidence for human ancestry has been brought to light.
